The White House is preparing to release to Congress the Ukraine whistleblower complaint and the Inspector General report by the end of the week
The White House is preparing to release to Congress by the end of the week both the whistleblower complaint and the Inspector General report that are at the center of House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, according to a senior administration official, reversing its position after withholding the documents from lawmakers.
The move shows the level of seriousness with which the administration is now approaching the House‘s new impeachment proceedings, even as President Donald Trump publicly tries to minimize the inquiry as a “witch hunt” or “presidential harassment,” or a move that will help him win his 2020 reelection campaign.
“You will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call. No pressure and, unlike Joe Biden and his son, NO quid pro quo! This is nothing more than a continuation of the Greatest and most Destructive Witch Hunt of all time,” Trump tweeted on Tuesday between meetings with foreign leaders at the United Nations.
But liberal lawyers and Democratic lawmakers say that only the whistleblower complaint can fully lay out the allegations against the president. Acting director of national intelligence Joseph Maguire so far has declined to turn over the complaint to congressional intelligence committees as required by law.
